Here's chapter 3 folks, hope you enjoy.

Once again, I'm sorry for making you all wait for so long, I've got a lot of stories and it's a bit hard to focus on some, so please forgive me.

Faltra City was a bustling area filled with multiple species ranging from Humans to Elves to Pantherians and more.

It was quite the sight, especially for you since you were literally in a video game you liked to play.

After the incident involving your Troupe, you and the girls were currently at the check-in of an in to rent a room.

There you were greeted with a very cute Pantherian girl.

Mei:

"Welcome to the Peace of Mind Inn, my name is Mei." She introduced before striking a very cute pose.

"I love her." You thought before rushing over to her.

She gained a surprised look when she saw you rush over.

"Um...hello ma'am...do you mind if I rub your ears?" You asked surprising her and the other girls even more.

A moment of awkward silence passed between the 4 of you and you blushed in embarrassment.

"Um...forgive me, I just find you very adorable and I..." You attempted to say only to be interrupted.

"Of course." Mei replied making you stop for a second.

"Huh?" You, Rem and Shera asked.

"You can rub my ears if you want." She replied making you extremely happy.

"Thank you so much." You squealed before gently pinching one of her ears between your claws and began rubbing her ears.

Immediately the cat girl let out a low moan and leaned into your touch.

Rem and Shera were absolutely at a loss, as the thing that claimed to be a higher being comparable to Gods was squealing over a cat girl.

Mei meanwhile seemed to be enjoying the sensation of having her ears rubbed if her purring was anything to go by.

Mei was definitely loving it, despite your sharp claws, your touch was gentle and loving.

"Nya...do the other one too." She moaned as she also began to breathe rather heavily.

You happily complied and began rubbing both her ears causing her to let out a louder moan.

Rem and Shera weren't the only ones watching as you both had now caught the attention of the others in the inn.

You couldn't help yourself, this Pantherian just reminded you of your pet cat, Jane.

From her ears to her tail to even the pattern of her fur, her cat body parts were a perfect match for Jane.

Even though you basically just got here, seeing this Pantherian made you remember your cat...and how much you'll miss here if you were stuck here.

"Nya...pet me..." She demanded and you happily complied.

You began vigorously headpatting her and she let out a squeal of delight.

"Who's my good girl?" You asked suddenly.

"Me!" Mei squealed as you pulled her close and continuing your petting frenzy.

Like this:

You opened your eyes and realized there were people staring at you.

Immediately you stopped and pulled yourself from her.

Mei let out a disappointed whine.

"Hey...why'd you stop?" She asked with pleading eyes.

You awkwardly pointed at the crowd watching you and much to everyone's surprise Mei only smirked and replied with:

"Let them look."

She even added a lick to her lips shocking the everyone, including you even further.

A small bit later:

You just stood in a corner with your cloak/wings covering you and the crowd had returned to what they were doing.

However you could still feel the occasional awkward stare in your direction, but you ignored it.

Meanwhile Rem and Shera were busy renting a room.

Suddenly, your sensitive ears picked up something Shera had said.

"You can just put me and him in the same room."

"Excuse me?" You asked glaring at her.

"What?" She asked hands on her hips. "I don't have enough money to get an extra room."

"Hold on, why should go into your room?" Rem asked. "I summoned him."

"You did not!" Shera yelled which initiated another argument between the girls.

As they kept on arguing you noticed that Mei was attempting to break them up but to no avail.

"You know, you could always tear each other apart outside..." She offered nervously.

Then suddenly, her demeanor changed completely...to a far more sinister one.

"Or I'll kick you out myself." She stated threateningly making them all stop their argument immediately.

You have to say, even you were a bit intimidated by that.

"If you can't decide where your friend will sleep..." Mei started before giving you a seductive look. "He's welcome to share a bed with me."

Now that was something you weren't expecting for her to offer, sure you both shared an incredibly awkward moment before but...

You shook your head and took a deep breath.

"Forgive me, but I cannot share a bed with either of you." You stated before snapping your fingers to ignite a Crimson flame in your hand.

Everyone in the Inn all backed up a bit as the flame itself had a sinister that intimidated them all.

"For you see, I am a being of nightmares." You chuckled sinisterly. "If I am near anyone while they sleep, they will suffer the worst nightmares imaginable."

Both Rem and Shera gained fearful looks upon hearing this information.

Mei however:

"Who said anything about us sleeping?"

You immediately sweatdropped as Mei leaned forward, her elbows on the table and her head resting on her hands as she gave you bedroom eyes while her tail swayed side to side rhythmically.

"Oh really now?" You asked suddenly giving a smirk of your own as you made the flame disappate.

"Yeah, this Kitty's heat is burning hotter than that flame." Mei answered giving you a wink.

Once again everyone was awkwardly staring at you both.

Later:
You, Rem and Shera were all now in a small room with a single bed that both of them will be sharing.

"How did this happen?" The Elf asked depressingly.

"Well, it seems you two are gonna have a lot of fun in here." You chuckled as you began letting your imagination run wild.

You may be the Leader of the Grimm Troupe, but you were still a dude and you had a penis and that lead to rather...explicit thoughts.

"Where are you gonna sleep?" Rem asked with a raised brow.

"I don't really need sleep, but on the rare occasions I do, I will obviously sleep in my Troupe Tent, that tent helps suppress my nightmare inducing power so that will keep people safe from the horrors I cause in their dreams." You explained.

The girls nodded in understanding before you suddenly let out a chuckle.

"You both seemed quite eager to have me sleep with you." You stated making the girls stiffen up and Blush. "Why though, did you both not say I was a creep?"

They didn't seem to have an answer and you let out a chuckle as you noticed them blushing.

Before you could continue teasing them, the door to their room opened.

All of you turned and saw a couple of those cloaked Mages standing by the door.

However, there was someone new among them, someone who you assumed was of high authority.

Celestine Baudelaire:

"Hello there, I don't believe we've met, so allow me to introduce myself." She spoke politely much to your delight.

"It's always nice to meet someone with proper manners." You thought. "It also helps that she's quite the beauty as well."

"My name is Celestine Baudelaire, and I am the Head of the Mage's Association." She introduced.

"Charmed." You replied walking up to her.

To everyone's except Celestine's surprise you gave her a polite bow and introduced yourself.

Like this:

"You may call me Grimm, the Leader of the Grimm Troupe." You introduced.

"Oh, are you responsible for that strange tent outside and the creatures that attacked my Mages?" She asked as you rose back to full height.

Of course, the Head of a Mage's Association protected a town by maintaining a barrier to keep monsters out.

So when something like your Troupe arriving happens she would investigate.

"Forgive me, but according to my Troupe, your Mages assaulted our base without negotiation and we were merely defending ourselves." You replied making Celestine raise a brow.

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" She asked curiously.

"All I can offer is my word as the Head of my Troupe." You replied placing a hand on your chest. "At least consider our side of the story before persecuting us Ma'am."

"Fair enough." She shrugged. "Just please try not to cause trouble again."

"All I can promise you is that I will try." You replied and this seemed to be good enough for her as she gave you a nod of approval.

Meanwhile everyone else present just stared on in awkward silence.

It was an odd sight for them at least, seeing the head of the Mage's Association exchange polite conversation with...whatever the fuck you were.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have something to discuss with Rem." Celeste replied as she shifted her gaze towards the Pantherian.

Celeste then took note of the chain collar around both Rem and Shera's necks and she let out a curious hum.

"However, I believe you all have a far more interesting story to tell." she stated.

Later that night:
All of you including Celeste and her Mages were now having a meal together in the Inn's dining area and Shera was currently stuffing her face full of various foods.

"I love food, food's for me, stuffing my face makes me so happy!" She sang bouncing in her seat which in turn caused her massive tiddies to bounce swing all around.

And you couldn't help but stare on at the massive moving malleable mammaries.

It's almost like you were hypnotized by them.

However, her little song came to end when she received a harsh bonk to the head from Brumm who was also with you.

"Your voice is completely off-key, either sing well or shut up and eat in silence." He said angrily.

Shera very intimidated by the large Grimm Troupe member complied and ate her food in silence.

"Master, may I play something in order to soothe your ears from that?" Brumm asked.

Brumm took music and singing very seriously, you don't remember making that part of his personality, but whatever.

"Only if she's okay with it as well." You said gesturing to Celeste.

It's okay, I don't mind." She replied and Brumm nodded before he began playing his accordion.

The music was beautiful, of course it would be, Brumm is a talented accordion player and Celeste seemed to agree as she closed her eyes and listened to his music.

"So you somehow managed to reverse their enslavement spell, correct?" Celeste asked and you nodded.

"Not intentionally though, it is a natural defence, any kind of spell that would attempt to bring me under someone else's control will reflect on them instead." You explained.

"So can you release them?" She asked again.

You let out a sigh.

"Unfortunately I cannot, I even asked my Troupe who has knowledge of very obscure and very dark magic and so far they are unable to." You explained.

"Forgive us Master, we are still researching the spell to find any way of undoing it." Brumm apologized.

"If you're trying to find a way to undo this then so will we, I'm sure between both our factions we'll find a way." Celeste assured.

"Thank you for the Assistance, I appreciate it." You thanked.

However, you suddenly remembered something and took a glance at Rem.

The Pantherian had been oddly silent throughout all this, a far cry from her usual tsundere self.

"Excuse me, you said you wished to discuss something with Rem correct?" You asked. "Would you mind telling me what it is?"

"Watch your mouth." One of the Mages said suddenly making you glare at him.

Galluk:

"How dare you speak to Lady Baudelaire in such a patronizing tone, I advise you to show some respect."He ordered.

"Oh great, we've got a simp." You groaned internally.

You didn't really say anything offensive, you simply asked Celeste a question and this guy snapped at you.

It's clear he was a simp for her and while she was a very attractive woman you still found it sad.

"Moron probably has a shrine of her in his home or something." You thought chuckling to yourself.

"Silence." Brumm suddenly ordered stopping his accordion music.

Everyone stared at your second-in-command in surprise.

"Excuse me?" Galluk asked angrily.

"Was my Master speaking to you?" Brumm asked confusing the Mage.

"What?" Malluk asked again.

Brumm let out a sigh and rolled his eyes.

"Lady Baudelaire, was my Master speaking to your subordinate?" He asked her.

"No, I believe Master Grimm was speaking to me." Celeste replied giving Galluk a disapproving glare shocking him.

"So then, why did he feel the need to speak so rudely to my Master as well as rudely interrupt your answer?" Brumm asked narrowing his red glowing eyes at Galluk.

"I don't know, Galluk, please explain your rude actions to me now please?" She asked further shocking her subordinate.

"L-lady Baudelaire I..." He tried to say only for Brumm to interrupt.

"Since you had shown such disrespect to both my Master and your own I don't feel the need to respect you in return so silence now." Brumm ordered and you couldn't help but let out a chuckle at that.

"Galluk, not only did you interrupt me, but you also forced Brumm to stop his music, which I was very much enjoying." Celeste stated shaking her head further embarrassing Galluk. "Forgive me for my subordinate Brumm, please continue playing."

"No need to apologize for that thing Lady Baudelaire, I can tell you're a fine leader, but sometimes even the finest owners cannot stop their dog from barking." Brumm replied before continuing to play.

Galluk taking extreme offense to that statement attempted to say something but was silenced by a glare from his superior.

"It's official, Brumm you are the best member of my Troupe and nothing will change that ever." You thought giving a silent snicker.

"So...I don't wanna go to the Mage's Association..." Came the quiet voice of Rem who you turned your attention to.

"The whole bodyguard thing creeps me out." She finished depressingly.

She sounded...so weak and scared and for some reason...it hurt you seeing her like this.

"Rem, look at me, look at my face." Celeste said gently, like a mother comforting a child. "This is the face of someone who is trying desperately to help you...and you're spitting in it."

Rem looked even more ashamed now.

"You're very important to the future of this world." Celeste finished.

That caught your attention and now you were even more interested in this Pantherian.

"I get it and I appreciate the consideration, but the thing is..." Rem paused for a brief moment. "I truly believe I can protect myself."

Celeste nodded in understanding before rising from her chair.

"I suppose there's nothing left to say then." She said before looking to you. "I suspect you'll still need help removing their Collars correct?"

"Of course, any help would be appreciated." You said also rising from your chair.

Both you and Celeste gave each other a bow.

"Farewell Master Grimm, it was a pleasure meeting you." Celeste said politely.

"The feeling is mutual Lady Baudelaire, I am hopeful we'll meet again sometime in the future." You replied.

With that, Celeste and her Mages left, but not before Galluk shot you a dirty glare.

All you did was shoo him away as if he were dog which seemed to increase his anger, but he did eventually leave.

You then turned your attention to Rem.

"You're quite interesting, little Pantherian." You stated making her look up at you.

"Huh?" She asked confused.

"To receive a visit from someone that important must make you very special." You explained. "Is there a secret about yourself you're keeping from me?"

Rem did not have it in her to answer and so she just remained silent.

"I'll take your silence as a yes." You said before suddenly picking her up and throwing her over your shoulder putting her rear beside your face.

Rem not expecting this immediately began to struggle and squirm in your grasp, but you were far stronger than her.

"HEY WHAT THE HELL!?" Rem yelled struggling in futility as you yourself were struggling to not grope her fine ass.

All you simply wanted was to interrogate her.

You knew from the way she acted she wouldn't give up her secret from you simply asking.

However, if this was anything like the Cross Reverie then getting any information out of her was essential.

You needed to progress the story after all, maybe even finishing this "game" will get you back home

You had no intention of doing anything life-threatening or indecent to her...BUT GODDAMN DAT ASS WAS TEMPTING.

Shera looked up at you and asked in a shaking voice.

"Wh-what are you gonna do with her?" Shera asked in fear.

"Don't worry, I simply wish to get some information out of her, by any means necessary." You stated lowly terrifying the Elf a great deal.

"Okay, if you need me I'll be here stuffing my face." She said returning to eating completely ignoring Rem's cries of outrage.

With that, you immediately carried her off and up into their room ignoring the looks others gave you.

You had just stopped caring, cause you know those stares won't be your last.

This left Brumm and Shera alone.

The Elf stared up at the imposing second-in-command of the Grimm Troupe as he glared down at her still playing his tune.

"Go ahead...SING AGAIN!" He dared making his eyes glow intensely making Shera flinch and turn away eating much faster to occupy her.

I hope you like it.

I'm not even gonna promise the next chapter's coming out sooner.

Trust me, I had fully intended for this chapter to come out much earlier, but as I said things kept coming up, I'm really sorry.

BTW, I really did have a cat named Jane and out of any cat I owned or will ever own she is my favorite.

She was cute, smart and strong, she even once brought back and adopted kittens that weren't her own and raised them and breast fed them along with her own.

Unfortunately she died protecting her kids from a dog, her kittens made it...she didn't...I miss her a lot.

R.I.P Jane.
